The publisher will also run an alpha test in May, as well as a beta that will "most likely" start by the end of July.

"We're going to have a private alpha, and we're going to give keys through various media channels," said Van Dyke.

"We're going to have different ways for people to get in. We want to get quite a few people in, we just want to make sure that it's not too many, and we don't have the proper systems to support that."

He continued: "But we want to open it up to quite a few people, but trickle them in, and that's going to start sometime in May. That's where we need a lot of information, where we need to actually do something with it.

Van Dyke previously worked on the Battlefield series, while developer Fatshark previously worked on Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 and Lead & Gold.
